Ann Telnaes, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist, said in a blog post that it was the first time the Post had rejected a drawing because of whom it targeted.

The cartoon, by Ann Telnaes, depicted the owner of The Post, Jeff Bezos, and other billionaires genuflecting toward a statue of President-elect Donald Trump.

Erik Wemple didn't pull any punches during a live chat session with readers when asked about the controversial decision to scrap the cartoon, which led Pulitzer Prize winner Ann Telnaes to resign.
